This is the second book in the Ruby Hood Series by Stephanie Greenhalgh.

Ruby gasped when the mirror gurgled and bubbled, then a
smoky fog filled the large oval. Stepping in closer, she began to make out an
outline beneath the haze. When the outline became clear, she stifled a scream
with her hand. Her cabin shimmied into view, giving her a bird’s eye view of
her own living room. Knox, Dylan, Liam, and Jared were all sitting around the
coffee table, poring over papers. Books littered the floor and a map hung on
the wall.

A soft knock on the door startled Ruby, even standing in her
old room at her mother’s house. Who could be knocking on her door today? Right
now?

Ruby watched as Dylan jumped up. He peered through the
window, shrugged and flung the door wide open. A little old woman stood on the
porch, covered in a dark gray cloak, carrying a basket of ruby red apples.

When she looked up to meet Dylan’s gaze, his eyes darkened.
Horror struck as he realized the danger a minute too late. Ruby had no choice
but to watch the scene unfold before her eyes.
